    Hi Everyone

    I've been reading you messages for about 6 months and decided to join
    I'm form Northern Ireland and Have been boxmaking for 5 years.

    Once I started making boxes I just couldn'd stop very addictive and challenging and I would say I'll be making them for a long time to come.

    I hope I can ask for advice from time to time and like wise anything I can help with don't hesitate to ask.

    I will post some images of my work shortly.

    Well, that's the nature of these worldwide groups. One has a mild case of perpetual jet lag.
    Cheers,

    Welcome, nature - looking forward to seeing your work.

    One of the good things that people here do is show us their WIP (mistakes and all). We all learn much more from this and the person doing it gets the advantage of a whole lot of talented woodies putting in their suggestions as you go along.

    BTW - this is an Australian forum, as you will have seen from your time lurking, the comments are direct with sardonic wit, so don't be too sensitive to criticism, it is meant:
    1. to be helpful
    2. to be funny
    3. both
    and never to put you down (except if you've been cocky, or you've been around here long enough for us tto know that you can take it - like the Honorary Bloke, who even tho' he comes from seppoland has been adopted by us).
    Cheers

    Looks like you have a new friend to keep you company while we snooze.

    So that's what it is--"sardonic wit." How droll.
    Cheers,

    Naturally speaking from a somewhat newly welcomed member, these "blokes" are bloody hilarious and basically the best group of people I've found and proud to call friends. Even though I've yet to meet one of em'. Although I came close awhile back on a business trip across country and could nearly throw a stone at one of em'.

    welcome......love to see those boxes...I think I'm going into withdrawls waiting in anticipation

    ICN,

    Bill

    Welcome to the forum. I am reasonably new here myself and don't post much, but I never miss what the people here have to say. I read the posts every morning. This is the best box making forum I have found. And the people here are a really great bunch of folks.
    And hurry up with the pictures please. i am a picture junkie

    You're welcome, Nature, so you are. Glad you've decided to delurk.

    And what Gecko said: please post some pics.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.
